Boland isnt your 6 bouncers an over type player and needs proper test cricket to excel. I'd say you are right and he wont play again and I think Neser might get even a game given his county form. Bolands fielding hasnt been too exciting either and I still cant figure out why he didnt attempt that fly slip catch off Woakes either.

Wicketkeeper has right of way.

True, but it was more a case of poor judgment by Carey. He should have pulled up and called Boland’s catch.

The Pommie media is piling on Boland because he is the one they do not want, almost 50% of the runs coming off his bowling comes from edges, that is dead lucky by the Poms not poor cricket from Boland.

Green and Hazelwood need to deliver on those selections

Wood and Woakes have lifted England with the ball since coming into the team.
Bowlers will need to get us back in front in this game...
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - LP - 07-20-2023
I tend to agree, leaving the spinner out might bite us, but it does look like the weather is going to smash this game in the next few days so it might be irrelevant.
The bigger question is the batting, we went heavy on the batting line up and massively under-delivered, the 1st Innings average here is about 380 with a normal batting line up, we have limped to 300 with a supercharged batting line up! The Aussie media are reporting honours are even, but actually based on the venue history we are already behind.
Ironically, this looks like the type of pitch that is perfect for a Boland type, hopefully Hazelwood can deliver.

I can't watch this, Poms are going to town
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - ElwoodBlues1 - 07-20-2023
Short stuff is just being pounded, Starc looks injured and having no spinner is starting to bite us.
Going to be tough to keep England under our 1st innings total, they know the weather and are batting to save time for the rain delays expected...
